Cruelty by design. This administration wants chaos. They want us demoralized and defeated. They want us tired and exhausted. They want us afraid as they do, what I believe is, calculated targeting. “What situation will cause the most outrage?” But they also want us angry enough to use as an excuse…
I need everybody to read this and understand what’s going on. These are spouses of US citizens in the country legally. They have entry clearance and green cards, they’ve passed background checks and have no criminal records. ICE is taking them anyway.

Six Indiana state senators who have refused to go along with Trump’s redistricting scheme have been subjected to swatting incidents. This is mob rule and it has to end.

We'll see, but I would bet $2.72 that within 24 hours Russia will violate any ceasefire, but squeal like a pig if Ukraine defends itself because of that violation. That is IF Russia just doesn't keep asking for unilateral capitulation of Uk..
This whole thing stinks to high heaven.

BREAKING: Ukraine has agreed to a U.S.-brokered peace deal, with only minor details left to finalize, according to CBS News. National Security Adviser Rustem Umerov confirmed a common understanding has been reached. Zelensky may travel to Washington by month’s end. Russia has yet to respond.

I'm all for reform to improve our public schools—I'm the one who rewrote No Child Left Behind.
But Trump breaking apart the Department of Education isn't reform, it's sabotage.
I'm fighting every way I can to stop him and protect public education.

This is too horrible for words! 🤬🤬🤬
Today, after months of requests, I toured the Broadview ICE Processing Facility. I want to share what I saw.
The facility has no food vendor, no medical care, and detainees have to use toilets in the middle of shared cells. These are in no way suitable conditions to be holding anyone — period.

I was honored to speak at a conference “Intent to Destroy: Confronting Russia’s Campaign to Erase Ukraine & Its People” at Georgetown. The mere suggestion of amnesty for Russia's war crimes and genocidal actions against Ukrainians, contained in Trump's 28-point plan, is an unconscionable obscenity.

As Ukraine marks Holodomor Remembrance Day, mourning millions of victims of Stalin's genocidal famine, it feels as though the Trump administration is happy to give Putin another chance to finish off what Stalin started. Europe should do everything in its power to help Ukraine & defeat Russia.

Before the midterms of 1866, President Andrew Johnson called his congressional opponents traitors and said they should be hanged.
Voters were so profoundly moved by his words... that they gave his opponents a supermajority in Congress, and the nation got the Fourteenth Amendment.
